Approaches Rachel lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also uses solution-focused techniques to spot small, practical steps that can shift day-to-day life. This method looks for strengths and what is already working, then builds simple goals and experiments to try between sessions. It can be useful when someone wants quick, actionable ideas for coping with stress or improving motivation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel will discuss options with each person and adapt methods to suit their needs, goals and preferences. The choice of techniques is collaborative and may change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls let people see and hear each other, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging suits those who prefer writing. These options make counselling easier to fit around work, study and family life.
